Barbara F. – Fight for $15

Barbara F.
Boston, MA

I’m a single mother to two small children, and I joined the Fight for $15 in 2015. I’m unable to afford to rent an apartment, so my children and I live in a shelter. I work at two separate locations for the multi-billion dollar company Dunkin’ Donuts and yet it’s still not enough and as a result I must rely on public assistance to put food on the table. Finding a job that pays decent wages in Boston has been nearly impossible. I’m fighting for $15/hr. and union rights because underpaid workers deserve so much more.
